00:00:00
Hello my friends. It's Tuesday, December
00:00:02
30th, 2025. And yesterday I reported in
00:00:05
my three big stories just a couple of
00:00:07
news articles where Lavro was saying
00:00:09
that Putin's palace was being attacked.
00:00:13
And I was thinking that's strange. Well,
00:00:15
we'll find out more about it, I'm sure,
00:00:17
and see some footage and that sort of
00:00:19
thing. And sure enough, there's nothing
00:00:21
there. Okay, let's let's explain what's
00:00:24
going on here. >> [snorts]
00:00:25
>> Putin said that overnight Ukrainian
00:00:26
forces attacked his residence in Nogarad
00:00:30
Oblast with 91 drones. Before that claim
00:00:34
had been published, Russian authorities
00:00:35
reported this morning that they had down
00:00:38
41 drones over the entire Oblast and
00:00:41
even less over that area around
00:00:42
Nilgarod. It was really interesting. So
00:00:45
that that's why my mind was going,
00:00:47
"Well, that's interesting. We'll see.
00:00:48
Maybe maybe it happened during the day
00:00:50
or something along those lines." Nope,
00:00:52
that's not it. Now, before we get to
00:00:54
that big story, let's go over a little
00:00:57
bit of what happened. Normally last
00:00:58
night, this is unusual to talk about
00:01:00
this kind of big event when I usually
00:01:03
talk about drones overnight and what's
00:01:06
going on on the ground. Footage of the
00:01:08
actual attack that targeted occupied
00:01:10
Daetsk airport. The airport is used for
00:01:12
launching and storing UAVs most of the
00:01:15
time. So on the night of December 30th,
00:01:17
the 414th Muyar birds of the Ukrainian
00:01:20
army conducted mass strike on a facility
00:01:23
used for storage equipment and launch
00:01:25
preparation for Shahed and Garan UAVs at
00:01:28
Daetsk airport. The targets hit Garan
00:01:30
and Shahed logistics hub, pre-fight
00:01:32
[snorts] pre-flight preparation and
00:01:34
maintenance site, central warhead
00:01:36
storage for Garan and Shaheds, and
00:01:39
accumulation warehouse for Gerba UAVs,
00:01:42
personnel and technical staff
00:01:43
concentration point. Okay, so that's
00:01:46
what they were doing. This is what I
00:01:47
would normally be talking about. Um, but
00:01:51
we just have to talk about this. It just
00:01:53
I I can't not. Okay, what a miracle. In
00:01:56
an age when everyone has a camera in
00:01:58
their pocket, even in Russia, not a
00:02:00
single person somehow saw or heard any
00:02:02
massive Ukrainian attack on Putin's
00:02:04
residence, which didn't even make it
00:02:06
into the official daily military
00:02:08
reports. Every Ukrainian strike on
00:02:11
Russian airfields, oil refineries, is
00:02:13
filmed every night from 10 different
00:02:15
angles. Yet, this supposed assassination
00:02:18
attempt on Putin magically appeared
00:02:21
after the fact just in time for a phone
00:02:23
call between Putin and Trump. That's
00:02:25
that's really remarkable timing. But I'm
00:02:27
not going to talk about the why in this
00:02:29
video. I'm going to talk about the did
00:02:31
it happen? Is it plausible? Did Did
00:02:34
anything really occur? Hundreds of
00:02:37
drones shot down over Valdai. Nope.
00:02:39
Nobody heard a thing. Residents of
00:02:41
Valdai in Russia's Nogarod region say
00:02:44
that they noticed no attack at all. But
00:02:46
14 locals interviewed by the outlet uh
00:02:50
particular news outlet tell a different
00:02:52
story. One, no SMS warnings. Two, no
00:02:56
buzzing sounds. Three, no explosions.
00:02:58
Four, no local chatter, nothing. A local
00:03:01
put it simply, if something like that
00:03:03
had happened, the whole town would have
00:03:05
been talking about it 100%. Yeah, of
00:03:07
course something would have been talking
00:03:09
about it, but uh we're just making it
00:03:11
up. That's that's what this amounts to.
00:03:13
SOTA is a um a Russian opposition
00:03:17
newspaper
00:03:19
attack on Putin's Valdi residence.
00:03:21
Presumably a Kremlin fake. Now, I'm not
00:03:24
one to jump like right to the this is a
00:03:27
false flag. It has to be a false flag,
00:03:29
but this is what they're saying here,
00:03:30
and I'm just reporting what is seen from
00:03:33
multiple angles. Such an attack appears
00:03:36
technically impossible. They say
00:03:38
airplane type UAVs used by Ukrainians or
00:03:41
Ukraine fly at low altitudes along an
00:03:43
almost straight trajectory. When
00:03:45
launched from Ukraine's northern border,
00:03:47
the UAVs would inevitably cross spec uh
00:03:50
specially protected airspace. see the
00:03:52
map with strategic missile forces
00:03:54
facilities, air defense units, military
00:03:57
aviation, closed administrative
00:03:59
formations like Sonetski Ozerin and so
00:04:03
on. A drone reaching the D uh diner
00:04:06
residence, that's the one that was
00:04:08
theoretically attacked by crossing the
00:04:11
territory of these facilities could only
00:04:13
do so by a miracle or through deliberate
00:04:16
negligence by military command. And you
00:04:18
see like the things that they have to
00:04:19
fly through in order to get there. and
00:04:21
it just seems implausible. Peskov was
00:04:24
asked about this and Pescov says
00:04:27
Russia's not going to provide any
00:04:28
evidence. Question: could you tell us
00:04:31
whether there is, so to speak, any
00:04:33
tangible evidence of this attempted
00:04:35
attack on the presidential residence and
00:04:37
whether Russia intends to present it,
00:04:39
for example, debris from drones that
00:04:41
were shot down. Pescos's reply was, "I
00:04:44
don't think any evidence is required
00:04:45
here if such a massive drone attack was
00:04:48
carried out." And thanks to the
00:04:49
well-coordinated work of air defense,
00:04:51
the drones were shot down and
00:04:53
neutralized. As for debris, I can't
00:04:55
comment on that. This is naturally a
00:04:57
matter for our military. Well, if you
00:04:59
had the evidence, wouldn't you think
00:05:01
that just providing the tiding the
00:05:03
evidence out would be a natural thing to
00:05:05
do. What I do know is that we see
00:05:08
Zalinsky himself trying to deny it. Many
00:05:10
[snorts] Western media outlets beginning
00:05:12
to push the narrative that this
00:05:13
supposedly never happened. Well, okay.
00:05:17
If I were to accuse you of being a
00:05:19
thief, you stole a million dollars. No,
00:05:21
no, let's go with 10 million. $100
00:05:23
million. If if I were accusing you of
00:05:26
having stolen $100 million, wouldn't I
00:05:29
want to provide like receipts or some
00:05:31
kind of data tracking or something to
00:05:32
say that? And and if you denied stealing
00:05:35
$100 million, wouldn't it be reasonable
00:05:38
to say like prove it, [laughter]
00:05:40
right? So, I I think that's where we
00:05:42
are, but they're not going to prove it.
00:05:45
That's how bold-faced they are right
00:05:46
now. Uh yeah. Okay. The circumstances of
00:05:50
this alleged strike targeting Putin's
00:05:53
residents in Nogarad do not conform,
00:05:55
this is the ISW, do not conform to the
00:05:57
pattern of observed evidence when
00:05:59
Ukrainian forces conduct strikes in
00:06:02
Russia. And the Kremlin has offered no
00:06:04
evidence to support its claim. Confirmed
00:06:06
Ukrainian strikes in Russia typically
00:06:08
generate evidence observable in open
00:06:10
sources. Such evidence includes footage,
00:06:13
explosions, fire, or smoke plumes near
00:06:16
targeted objects. Statements from local
00:06:19
and regional authorities usually
00:06:21
downplaying successful Ukrainian strikes
00:06:24
as debris from downed drones. ISW has
00:06:27
not observed any such footage, nor local
00:06:30
regional reporting about Ukrainian
00:06:32
strikes near Putin's residence to
00:06:34
cooperate Lavro's claims. LVO's claim of
00:06:37
downing 89 Ukrainian drones over
00:06:39
Novagarad. And remember, there's 91
00:06:41
total. They down 89. Is also
00:06:44
inconsistent with Russian Ministry of
00:06:47
Defense's claim that Russian forces down
00:06:49
47 Ukrainian drones over the Oblast
00:06:51
overnight December 28 to 29.
00:06:56
Okay. Well, I mean, but I mean, it's
00:06:58
it's hard to keep up when you're making
00:07:00
up stuff. Apparently uh the Russian
00:07:03
Ministry of Defense R US earlier
00:07:05
reported intercepting 89 drones in total
00:07:09
overnight including 18 overnight over
00:07:13
Nogarad region. Russian officials are
00:07:15
lying again. Here's the official where
00:07:17
they're breaking it out to 18 over that
00:07:19
particular region. Okay. Russian
00:07:22
Ministry of Defense initially reported
00:07:24
89 drones for all Russian regions. 18 in
00:07:28
Novearad where Valdai is. Residents did
00:07:30
not hear air defense activity. There is
00:07:33
no photo or video evidence of an attack.
00:07:36
The area is GP a GPS dead zone difficult
00:07:38
for drones to navigate. There are at
00:07:41
least 12 Pancer S1 air defense systems
00:07:44
that are permanently stationed around
00:07:45
the Valdi complex. Such an attack would
00:07:48
sabotage, now this is the why, and we'll
00:07:51
talk about the why in the next video.
00:07:53
Such an attack would sabotage Ukraine's
00:07:55
own interest by giving Russia an excuse
00:07:57
to increase its air campaign or strike
00:08:00
Ukrainian government buildings, harden
00:08:01
its negotiating stance, or whatever it
00:08:03
is. There's there's multiple reasons why
00:08:06
the Ukrainians probably wouldn't do
00:08:08
this. And here's like where where the
00:08:11
air defense is located, right? Like
00:08:13
you're this if this is the place, you're
00:08:15
not getting through that probably,
00:08:17
right?
00:08:18
Adam Kinzinger, former Republican
00:08:20
congressman, says, "It appeared the
00:08:23
whole Putin Ukraine tried to kill me
00:08:25
with 91 drones last night was entirely
00:08:27
made up." And of course, Trump repeated
00:08:30
it and said he was mad at Ukraine.
00:08:33
Nightly, Russia launches drones and
00:08:36
missiles at innocent people and try to
00:08:38
kill Zinsky every day. Spare me the
00:08:40
gaslight. And that does seem to be what
00:08:43
the evidence points to, as has happened
00:08:45
here. It's gaslighting. Now, what was
00:08:46
going on last night? Explosions in
00:08:48
Harkke. Not a lot. There were 62. Now,
00:08:52
it's 62 Russian uh drones uh and and I
00:08:56
think one missile. 62, right? So, um
00:09:00
let's look at this. You Russia saving
00:09:03
up. They saved up 100 three nights ago.
00:09:06
Two 125 last night, about 100 this
00:09:10
night. We're going to round 62.
00:09:13
Okay. So 325 saved up plus 150 that they
00:09:17
can average per day. So they're they're
00:09:20
going to have a big strike here
00:09:22
tomorrow, next day, something like that.
00:09:24
Whatever it is, they're saving up for a
00:09:26
big big strike. Let's look at the
00:09:28
battlefield. 1,220. The average is 12 uh
00:09:32
1030. Um it might have gone up to maybe,
00:09:35
let's say, 1050 or something, but 10:30
00:09:37
or so off the battlefield is the average
00:09:39
for the year. uh or more recently five
00:09:43
tanks off the battlefield, four armored
00:09:45
fighting vehicles, 19 artillery systems,
00:09:48
and 119 vehicles and fuel tanks. So 1220
00:09:51
is a lot higher than what we usually
00:09:53
see. Ukrainian forces, this is the ISW,
00:09:56
Ukrainian forces recently advanced near
00:09:58
Severk, Alexandrifka and Julipole.
00:10:01
Russian forces recently advanced in
00:10:03
western Zaricia, Oblast, Dolberilia and
00:10:07
near Prosque
00:10:09
direction. There were 40 uh attacks by
00:10:12
Russians on Prosk. Uh at Prosk as of
00:10:15
December 29th, Chuck Farer, former Navy
00:10:18
Seal says full Russian seizure of the
00:10:21
elomeration is possible in the coming
00:10:23
weeks or months, but at prohibitive
00:10:26
cost. So it is possible that they can do
00:10:28
it. Will they take it by the end of
00:10:30
2025? That's not happening. That's
00:10:32
tomorrow, right? Uh but will could they
00:10:34
could they take it in in months, maybe
00:10:36
even weeks? Yes. But it's going to cost
00:10:38
them dearly. Now, listen. No rapid
00:10:40
Russian operational breakthroughs are
00:10:42
expected. Ukrainian reinforcements and
00:10:45
deteriorating winter conditions will
00:10:47
stall further Russian momentum allowing
00:10:49
Ukrainian stabilization or even limited
00:10:52
counter moves. So, just as I was talking
00:10:54
about, the winter has come and it's
00:10:56
going to tamp down the momentum.
00:10:59
Julipole direction in Zaparicia region.
00:11:01
There were 22 assaults. Constantin what
00:11:05
it looks like now. It's a ghost town.
00:11:06
Constantin is being destroyed right now.
00:11:09
This is Sir Sterno saying this in parts
00:11:12
of the city and they won't stop just
00:11:13
like that. They can only be stopped by
00:11:16
force. Here are some images of
00:11:18
Constantin.
00:11:20
And it's just Yeah. And it's just just
00:11:23
destruction and mayhem wherever the
00:11:25
Russians have gone. Okay. and what
00:11:27
Kiance looks like. A city that Harkke in
00:11:29
a hark region where fighting continues.
00:11:32
Earlier pro-war Russian bloggers claimed
00:11:35
that Russian troops had been encircled
00:11:37
in Kubiance and that's true. Now what's
00:11:40
funny about this is Sergey Kus Kusovv
00:11:44
[snorts] reported to Putin, this was on
00:11:46
the 29th, this was just yesterday that
00:11:48
the Ukrainian forces in Coupons will be
00:11:50
destroyed in January to February. Wait a
00:11:54
minute. Wait a minute. The same general
00:11:57
previously received the title of hero of
00:11:59
Russia from Putin for the liberation of
00:12:02
Kiance. This was less than a month ago.
00:12:05
And yeah, so they're going to get him
00:12:07
out by January, February, even though
00:12:08
they've taken the entire city. Okay. Now
00:12:11
Putin is ordering the entire the army to
00:12:14
occupy Coupiance in a tacit admission
00:12:17
that in spite of his previous boasting,
00:12:19
Russia is not there. Ukraine still
00:12:21
controls it. Okay.
00:12:25
reported. Now, now look, when you look
00:12:27
at this kind of thing that they're
00:12:29
reporting things that just were not
00:12:31
true, it makes you wonder if maybe this
00:12:34
attack on the Valdai or Yeah, the Valdai
00:12:37
Palace or dinner palace, whatever it is,
00:12:40
maybe that's not true. You got to
00:12:42
wonder. Reported advance toward
00:12:44
Zafaricia, the offensive that exists
00:12:46
only in briefings. Uh Russian general
00:12:49
staff reported to Putin that Russian
00:12:50
forces had allegedly advanced to within
00:12:52
15 kilometers of the southern outskirts
00:12:54
of Zabberia. Deep state mapping seems to
00:12:57
refute this. But again, do you believe
00:12:59
them? Because you know if they if you
00:13:02
lie about one thing or you're likely to
00:13:04
be lying about something else. Newly
00:13:07
published footage 50 km is the claimed
00:13:09
range reached by Ukraine's Tashka drones
00:13:13
during fiber optic FPV strikes on
00:13:15
Russian targets. 50 kilometer range on
00:13:19
drones. So what's going to happen is
00:13:21
that that gray area is going to expand
00:13:24
and expand and expand from 25 to 40 to
00:13:27
50 kilometers. And that'll be an
00:13:30
interesting thing to separate combatants
00:13:32
and keep keep them apart. Arishnik on
00:13:35
combat duty in Barus.
00:13:38
But again, is it really? You got to ask
00:13:40
yourself. Arishnik on combat duty in
00:13:42
Barus, Europe now within 5,500 kilometer
00:13:46
range. The Russian Defense Ministry
00:13:47
claims that the Arishnik missile has
00:13:50
transferred to Russia has already gone
00:13:52
on combat duty in Bellarus.
00:13:55
But again, I'm not sure whether you can
00:13:57
believe him or not. I mean, I'm not
00:13:58
trying to roll the dice, but you got to
00:14:00
wonder. Okay, let's just sum up here. It
00:14:03
would appear that the Russians did not
00:14:05
even bother to set stage a false flag on
00:14:08
Putin's residence. They just apparently
00:14:10
thought it would suffice to tell Trump
00:14:12
the attack had taken place and he was
00:14:14
upset about this. All right, my shout
00:14:16
out is to Fritz Brown, a graduate
00:14:18
Patreon patron. Thank you, Fritz. The
00:14:20
point here is that Trump must pressure
00:14:22
Putin. Uh, and if if Trump doesn't
00:14:24
pressure Putin, nothing's going to
00:14:26
happen. But if Trump believes whatever
00:14:29
Putin says, even if the evidence doesn't
00:14:32
isn't there, that becomes deeply
00:14:34
problematic. Let's talk about our
00:14:36
fundraiser. We're working with project
00:14:38
projects campaign 22. We started at
00:14:41
205,000 that they had raised before uh
00:14:44
Pete the medic's untimely death just
00:14:47
like a year ago. Uh and now we're up to

I'll place the link down below if you
00:14:56
want to give to that. Thank you my
00:14:58
friends for that. I really do appreciate
00:15:00
your support for this kind of great
00:15:02
work. And I'll leave you with this. This
00:15:03
was a lot to try to digest. So, National
00:15:06
Ge Geographic showed a penguin trying to
00:15:08
calm down. In the footage, the penguin
00:15:11
is breathing deeply as if doing
00:15:13
breathing exercises. Video gained
00:15:16
millions of views in less than a day.
00:15:17
We're all like that at the end of the
00:15:19
year. Calm down and take deep breaths.
00:15:26
It's working for me already. Thank you,
00:15:27
my friends, for your time, for the
00:15:29
likes, for the shares, the subscribes.
00:15:31
Thank you for being the kind of person
00:15:33
who cares about Ukraine.

Description:

Russia claims Ukraine launched a massive swarm of 91 drones at Vladimir Putin’s Valdai residence. The Kremlin calls it an assassination attempt. Ukraine denies it entirely. But when we look at the geospatial reality, the Russian story fractures. Why would Ukraine waste precious long-range assets on a symbolic target with zero military value? Why is there no visual evidence of such a massive engagement? In this video, we analyze the anomalies of the Valdai incident. We examine the lack of strategic logic, the silence from open-source intelligence, and the very real possibility that this was a manufactured crisis designed to justify a new Russian escalation. Facts over noise. Context over headlines. Truth over talking points. FUNDRAISER: https://donorbox.org/project-tetyana
